Aram Karim, originally from Iraqi Kurdistan, is a photographer whose work has been praised by the New York Times, among others. He is in Switzerland, not to exhibit his photos, but to seek asylum. This article earned me a lot of reactions from people touched by the story. The photographers' association, in particular, contacted him to offer him photographic equipment.
